Montevideo

The capital of Uruguay is also one of the main tourist destinations in the country. Any time of the year is good to visit this city, which owns exceptional architecture and breathes art, music and traditions.

The main tourist trip in the capital is in the Cuidad Vieja (old city). There you will find places of historical interest, places to shop and a wide range of culinary choices. Montevideo is synonymous with the promenade. This pedestrian walkway alongside the sea offers a great opportunity to see the city without interruptions from the port to Carrasco neighborhood. However, the opportunities of a pleasant walk don’t end there as there are also parks, street markets and different neighborhoods that are also worth discovering.

Montevideo has a wide variety of museums, a reflection of the intense artistic activity that the city has had historically. The main national artists have spaces reserved to display their work in the museums that bear their name (such as the Juan Manuel Blanes and the Joaquín Torres García museums). Although, there are art galleries like the Zorrilla musuem and the National Museum of Visual Arts which combine classical works of art with pieces created by current artists as well as photography and installations. Added to this are other museums dedicated to the great passions of the Uruguayans; soccer and carnival.

The Uruguayan capital makes you look at its facades. The city joins works from the colonial period with buildings constructed in the golden age of the country, which was from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. Soccer has a special place reserved for it: amongst the necessary visits is the Centenario Stadium, built especially for the celebration of the first World Cup in history.

The beaches in Montevideo are an inescapable attraction in summer, and walking or doing sporting activities along the coast is almost part of the folklore. In addition the city has a large quantity of parks and green areas, although perhaps the most suitable for free time is Rodó Park, as there you will find an amusement park and a number of restaurants.
